Is there decals available for those yet? 22 minutes ago, Valkyrie said: Yikes! There might be an issue, I hadn’t thought about that Well, if you're talking 1/48th then worry not, these are showing up in the Big H's future releases. These will also be available in 1/72nd too. So fortune is smiling upon you For anyone considering a French aircraft in Algeria, there's plenty of inspiration here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfingers Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'm up for this one. Got the Tamiya M1 Israeli Sherman and Star Decals for a Ugandan Army tank. All i'll need is a 35th scale Idi Amin to go in the turret! Regards, Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Oh Yes! Il-28 in Biafra War markings for me. Thanks to Bobcat and Hi-Decals A rather nasty little conflict that gets forgotten nowadays. There's always Jesus Christ Airways for 'civilian' fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many to choose from at the moment. Having both of Tom Cooper's volumes on African MiGs I may find inspiration there for a MiG-21 or a Su-25. I also have decals for several African F-5s that may find their way on a model. Last but not least, the MB.326 and the Magister were used by a few countries in the continent and I have both in the stash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shashman Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) I'm definitely interested in this. I can't say exactly what I'd build but I'm a big fan of more obscure, out of the ordinary subjects Edit: Possibly an Eritrean or Ethiopian bit of Russian kit 😎 Edit 2: Wow, I've tumbled into a veritable wormhole of possibilities here. The variety of aircraft East African nations have fielded is amazing! From Canberras to SU-27UBKs, Mig-21s, Connies... 🤗 Edited March 17, 2020 by Shashman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just taken delivery of the very nice Max Decals sheet for international Fouga Magisters to go with my Kinetic twin boxing and am looking very closely at the options from Senegal and Togo, and then there are some nice MB 326's from Zaire and Zambia. then there's also the possibility of an Alpha Jet from Cote d'Ivore..... oh dear, it begins!!!!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Fougas, one Alpha Jet and one MB-326 (as of now ) so yes I'm good to go W.W.E.M.D. all I need is to self isolate for about 3 months at the appropriate time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
